HP SIM 5.3

[catherine L mackie]

Can anyone tell me exactly what ports are required to be open on a firewall to allow an HP server on a client site to be monitored and event passed to HP via HPSIM 5.3.

look for port listing.

Unfortunately it looks as though we have all the ports open for HP SIM use on HP servers
Customer to HP-SIM
162 SNMP-Trap
50004 WBEM/WMI Secure Port
7906 Web Interface listener
50001 HP SIM HTTPS
50002 HP SIM HTTPS
161 SNMP
HP SIM to Customer
80 HTTP
443 HTTPS
22 SSH
161 SNMP
2301 HP SMH HTTP
2381 HP SMH HTTPS
5989 WBEM via HTTPS

We have requested port 5988 (WBEM via HTTP - this is supposed to be insecure) and port 7920(WEBES passwd authentication).

The SIM server can access the server and SMH on 11iv1 - 3 and it looks as though the SIM server is receiving the error events however the data is not being passed to WEBES - this is required for HP to automated alerts.
Is the opening of port 7920 going to assist as when we traced the network traffic there were no signs of the network traffic from these ports being rejected by the firewall.
